Not really, that actually is fairly sane compared to how things in RTD's go even the more serious ones.

Look to roll to roll to dodge for good examples.

We Madmen are very ingenious.  Sometimes it just takes just a little less sanity to pull off something completely awesome.

See, thing is, most of the stuff that happened there was mostly a combination of accidents and a hilarious GM.

I can do anything I want, as long as I accept the consequences.

I have, and I was tempted to make a character that served the necro-hand (and possibly desire to return Derm to it so that it could reattach itself), but decided against it because I figured that Derm wouldn't approve.

On a different note, there appears to be no mana cost to the wild magic spells. Is that intentional?

I wonder if Derm can cast Wild Pact with a summoned ghost, meaning that he would be immune to non-magical damage (other types of damage would go to the ghost, which is immune). Even if he was hit by magical damage, he'd still have the ghost's health as a buffer before he would get hurt.

Finally, Derm, what is the oppression tower?

That is not a mistake, neither of those spells are supposed to require magic. Their cost comes from their effects, one makes another character take damage for someone else, and the other gives them a power boost at a severe loss of HP every turn its active. Also Derm can use Wild Pact with a summoned spirit, and he'll be immune to all damage until the spirit dies. Just, because its a spirit doesn't mean its immune to physical damage, actual ghosts are immune, but summoned spirits are different from ghosts.

Also you guys can feel free to do whatever you want, but I will remind you that your actions will have consequences, the reason Blitz is getting mobbed isn't entirely because of the roll. That roll was just to see how badly the people would take it, because he decided to start shouting praises to an unknown God in the middle of a village in a kingdom dedicated to a single Pantheon of Gods. Said Pantheon of Gods have been stated as usurping the previous Pantheon when the Kingdom of Eldast was part of the Empire.

((Having already done quests go help the town, would I get some sort of bonus to talking the mob down by convincing them the cultist will probably die anyway in the goblin caves and we can at least use him to be beneficial to the village by helping first?))

Based on where you guys were when the mob popped up Unholy_pariah is the only one that could go help him since after all you're already at the Fort/well on your way to it as that mob guns for Blitz' life.

Stand my ground, I won't give in~

Pretend to stand my ground, flee at the last moment with my cultist.

Actually, never mind that. Run, run as fast as my legs will carry me. Force the cultist to do the same.

None at all, you're not a hero yet! :P

Nope, just managing to restore the longsword to its original blessing was quite a feat already, and blessings are very minor acts of notice on the part of gods though priests who've been given power by the Gods are usually the ones who carry out the blessings. As for the pendant you don't even know if it is a divine tool, it could simply be a very powerful work of magic for all you know.

Just praying, even while attempting to use holy objects as a focus, is extremely unlikely to gain you the notice of any of the Gods let alone the notice needed to get their personal blessing which would allow you to become a priest or paladin dedicated to them.

Not sure if this is out of line but maybe you guys can hire mercs so some of us waitlisters can play? Even if it's not me, I'm sure someone on the list would enjoy playing. :)

All fanfics are heresy, each and every one, especially the shipping ones. Those are by far the worst.
